In the second edition of her E! special ‘My Truth,’ Nicki Minaj has explained her side of her now infamous argument with Mariah Carey on the set of ‘American Idol.’ The YMCMB star explained that she never threatened the singer and took on Barbara Walters for hastily judging her on ‘The View.’Minaj explained that the rumors of her threatening Carey are simply ridiculous. “I really felt good when I left yesterday and then I hear that Mariah went to Barbara Walters with some more fabrication that even the producers told her was never said. Telling Barbara I said something about a gun, which everybody knows that I’m way smarter than that. Literally my jaw was just hanging open and I was in shock. I’ve never in my life said anything regarding a gun,” Minaj said according to MTV.
Walters response to the incident left Minaj unimpressed as well and she explained that ‘The View’ host could have at least reached out to her camp before passing judgment. “Am I not good enough for you to get my side, because I’m a little black girl that raps? Because if I was J. Lo, you would’ve called J. Lo’s camp. But are we not good enough for you Barbara? ‘Cause you wasn’t even there when I was on the show Barbara. So I guess I’m not good enough but I’m only good enough for you to tell people I’m ‘unpredictable,’ when you don’t f—–g know me?”
Minaj also indicated her respect for Carey’s career explaining that she feels the singer is an asset to the ‘Idol’ set. “Why would I wanna have a rift with someone I’ve looked up to my whole life? I’ve loved her and even told her that in the meeting. Actually I’m happy that Mariah’s on the panel because I think that’s a great thing. You’ve got one of the best singers than ever sang ever in the world. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, but the fact that you had a problem with me being on there and that’s why there’s an issue,” said Minaj. (theversed)
